General Notes.
Captain Glenn has returned with hi
family from California, where he ha
been enjoying his months leave of alb
sence from his post as u. S. A. Quarter
master in this city. He and his were
greatly benefited in health by theil
soiourn on the coast. The Captain re-
turns to his desk on the 9th, Lieutenant
Morton, who has been ably filling the
office ad interim, returning to Fort
Douglas.

rheumatism, VIM. Huber has appeared

ing some afterpains from badly swollen
knee.
Judge r. K. Williams is somewhat
rallyiug from the long and painful attack

l.. j. WYkes has gone to Stockton.
Utah, to take a responsible situation in a
large business house there. Mr.. Wyckes
IS a thorough business man with few
equals in the commercial profession in
these chimes.
The work of the mission schools and
churches is onward on upward. On Sun
day the Baptist Sabbath school was at
tended by 1877 scholars, and seventy
young people availed themselves of a
similar benefit in the Presbyterian
Church.
All the real estate men tell me I'm
animously that they are rather put to
their wits to supply the demand for
houses to rent. Many who first only in
tended to rent or lease residences are
now seriously considering the propriety
OF purchasing property, which indicates
a determination OF permanent settlement
in our midst No doubt, the town is
growing, and its development in the near
future will vastly surpass the expecta-
tons even OF the most sanguine. Our
progress is steady and our prosperity
will be enduring. There is no doubt
about it.
Last evening the committee chosen for
the drafting Of resolutions, rules, by
laws, etc., for the new Board of Trade,
met in the county court house, number
OF other business men taking part in the
deliberations. The result of these will
be presented to a general meeting of
merchants, manufacturers, ETC., on
Thursday evening at the same piece.
Everybody appears determined to put
his shoulder to the wheel of fortune.
Anyone whom business or leisure
prompts to be much on the street in day
time or OF an evening, can notice num-
bers OF strange women promenading I'M
escorted in a style which, though not
particularly of the Haunting" kind, is
none the less suggestive of evil. The
police are keeping their eyes open on
their dOings.
The latest about Lorin Fairs condition
Monday evening was that lac still hoy
cred in a critical state. Through the dav
he had taken a little toast and milk, but
he refused medicine, as he has never
been believer in doctor stuff" Fortu- |

hoped he will pull through, though by a !
tight squeeze.

Owing to the wreck of a freight train
